Our Story

Born from science,
fueled by
rock & roll.

Fed up with the empty promises of the beauty market, Carla Harvey and Allison Waters set out to build something the industry had never seen—a skincare line with real scientific credentials, no filler ingredients, and a bold identity that matched the lives of the people using it.

We wanted a product that not only meets the skincare needs of individuals leading a dynamic lifestyle—but resonates with a bold, rock-inspired aesthetic. — Carla Harvey & Allison Waters, Co-founders

Our Mission

Skincare that
keeps up with you.

We built Biotite for people who refuse to compromise—on quality, on identity, or on results. Our mission is simple: formulate the most effective, science-backed skincare possible, with complete transparency about every ingredient and why it's there.

No Empty Promises
Every claim we make is backed by the science behind our ingredients. No marketing speak, no filler ingredients.
Full Transparency
We publish every ingredient and explain exactly why it's in our formula. You deserve to know what you're putting on your skin.
Bold by Design
Skincare doesn't have to be quiet. We built a brand for people who live boldly—and their skin routine should reflect that.
